Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.
 
If you cannot find the letters on your key-board, you may click on the link "Diacritica" to access it for your search.

[9] Now, at that time, in the city of Rājagṛha, the caravan leader, Vimala, by name, returned from across the ocean with a successful ship.  He fed the Awakened, the Fortunate One, together with a retinue of thousand two hundred and fifty monks. Each monk was presented with the three garments.  The entire world was filled with his fame saying: "Rightly has his ocean voyage been fruitful, and rightly is he called ’caravan leader’ in that he has thus done homage to the teaching of the Fortunate One."  Hearing this, rivalry arose in the caravan leader Divākara thinking:  "I too will take to the ocean.  If I return thence with a successful ship,  howsoever many disciples of the Fortunate One dwell in Jambudvīpa, I will ask the Fortunate One, make them assemble in one place, regale them with excellent food and present each monk with three garments of great value."  This incident was related by him to his wife  and she said: "Master, may your intentions prosper, may your wishes be fulfilled."  Thereupon, the caravan leader Divākara caused bells to be sounded three times in the city of Rājagṛha and, accompanied by five hundred merchants, set out to sea.  While he was at sea, the Fortunate One entered into Nirvāṇa;  and, while he was still there the Great Elder Kāśyapa, too, entered into Nirvāṇa.
